I had to write a paper on the book for my freshman eniglsh final at UIC. The movie is very accurate based on the book, not too much drama IMO. Beane does smash a lot of things in the movie, just like he did in the book. And how can you script what Hattiberg did to bring the win streak to 20? It's even more dramatic in the book than the movie. IIRC, he thought he hit a lazy fly ball, put his head down on his way to first, hears the crowd roaring, and realizes he just hit a walk-off HR.
